So yesterday I was dangling metaphorical carrots in front of you, with some sneaky peeks on what I've been working on this week.

Well tonight I give you courgettes!

Real veggies this time! These are growing in my city garden! Cool eh!

We've also enjoyed some peas and strawberries. Still waiting for the toms to ripen, and the raspberries are starting to fruit! Ah the good life!

And if you follow me on Instagram, you will know that I got a particular quilt top & back finished! Phew! It was a struggle and a whole other blog post. But it can now go off to the long arm quilter for some magic quilting!

Tomorrow I think I'll take a wee break from the sewing machine! It's to rain here, so school shoes shopping it is then!

There's been sewing going on this week, but I can't show you full reveals just yet, sorry!

I'm furiously working on Mum and Dad's Golden wedding anniversary quilt, because I don't want to be handing it over at their 51st wedding anniversary!

At the risk of mum seeing too much, I'm just going to show you a rubbish sneak peek, and leave it at that!

I'm now at the border stage, needing to get those on, the back made and left into the Long Arm quilter by tomorrow! Ha ha! Yes, I said tomorrow because my local long-armer is going away next week! Trying hard not to panic!

The other sneak peek is for a friend's birthday this weekend (another '0' birthday, wink, wink!).

Will be able to show you more after Saturday!

And check out Shannon's amazing EPP cushion here. I think she's just created a new class project for me!

It was the hottest day of the year so far here! And the hot temperatures were a welcome home coming for the lovely visitor I had to class this morning!

Marie started following my blog 2 years ago, and while she lives in Oz most of the year, we had the privilege of meeting for the first time a year ago. She creates the most beautiful quilts, which you can see here on her blog.

It was so lovely getting Aussie hugs from Marie again (even though she's a fellow Irish woman!), and just look at the goodies she brought!

This is such a beautiful Jen Kingwell pattern that I definitely want to have a go at! And I already have a wee project in mind for those gorgeous fabrics.

Thank you Marie for taking precious time out to come see me. 2 summer meet ups means we've definitely established an annual tradition, right?!
